SATA Hardrives

[ThePerson98]

I figured I should make the jump to SATA.

My backup hardrive went down again, the model itself is too unreliable. I'm going to RMA it again, but I'm gonna get new hardrives.

I plan to get two SATA hardrives, keep my maxtor as a backup. And toss out the seagate.

I want the SATA hardrive to be working on my later to be purchased AM2 system. Will SATA 3 GB/sec work on my motherboard at 1.5 GB? Or will I just need to find a way to endure and toss the SATA hardrives in with my larger purchase?

In the end I want two SATA hardrives in a RAID array with my maxtor as my backup hardrive.

I am looking at buying two of THESE

yes but you may need to use the compatibility jumper setting on the drive.

Alright, now I need opinions on the hardrive..

For acoustics,
Western Digital models are usually quiet.

On a side note,
With the last four mobos dealt with,
Noticed that when using a
Slipstreamed Windows2000 CD with unofficial SP5.1,
and/or
Slipstreamed Windows XP CD with SP2,
The annoying procedure of having to use a floppy disc with SATA driver was not necessary.
